Abstract

[Abstract]: The aim of using technology as an aid to teaching is to provide an effective and efficient means for disseminating information in a way that supports learning. The adoption of PowerPoint as an aid to the lecturing process has been a major step towards greater use of technology. Rapid advancements in technology have lead to software packages which can be integrated with PowerPoint that allow for innovative approaches to teaching. This paper provides an introduction to one such software package Breeze and its potential for enhancing the student learning experience.
